Only after solving the problem of the cow did Su Qiuyi finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Now the only problem left was her shop.

He had only eight hundred taels of silver in his hand, and he gave two hundred taels to her father.

Originally her father was unwilling to take so much money, but she felt it was right, so she gave the silver without allowing her father to refuse.

If I say now that I used this money to buy a shop...

It's not impossible, but she doesn't want to do it yet! There is only one reason, that is, she doesn't have the ability to protect herself.

If she suddenly opened such a big shop, there would be many people who would be interested in her.

So, I got up early in the morning, ran two kilometers, practiced a few sets of sword techniques and archery, and then started practicing butter training with my two younger sisters.

Now that cow's milk is in sufficient supply, as long as she goes to make butter every day, plus the dozens of them Bai Xiaojing gives her, she will no longer have a problem with scarcity of materials.

But I said this before I even started selling...

The three sisters were baking cookies busily when Su Xiaofang came over in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the yard, he started asking a lot of questions.

"Yiyi, have you really decided to sell cookies? Set up a stall on the street? And bring your two sisters with you? Are you ready?"

Su Qiuyi felt distressed when she saw her aunt walking towards her from the village.

This aunt is always the first person to care about them. Right in front of her, she couldn't wait for their father to drive back in the evening, so she walked here from so far away.

It's so cold outside that frost has formed on my eyes.

"Well, come in and drink some hot water to warm up first, auntie!" She quickly pulled Su Xiaofang into the house, and called her sisters to boil water and make tea.

After letting my aunt sit in the warm room, I quickly went out and brought in a plate of freshly baked cream biscuits.

"Aunt, this is what the three of us just baked. Come and try it! It will be especially delicious when you drink it with tea."

Su Xiaofang waved her hands quickly, "Aunt, don't eat it! These are all made by the three of you with great effort and sold for silver! They are all valuable things! How can I eat them? Just have some tea later!"

In this cold weather, her three nieces worked day and night baking cookies to earn money. It was really hard work for her. How could she not understand?

"Well, earning money is one thing, but you, my aunt, can't miss this one! Try it and see if it tastes good. Then praise me, your niece!" Su Qiuyi acted coquettishly while picking up the biscuits and putting them into her aunt's mouth. To her, this aunt was like her mother.

Even more than what my mother gave me in my two lifetimes.

Su Xiaofang couldn't stand her niece's coquetry, so she bit her hand.

The milky and sweet taste bursting in her mouth made her squint her eyes.

I wanted to take another bite after the first one, and couldn't help but eat a piece of biscuit.

The stove was already on fire, and Su Mingyue soon made some tea and brought it over. Su Xiaofang drank the hot tea and ate biscuits.

She paused halfway through the plate of cookies.

"Auntie can guarantee that these cookies will be a big hit! Once you take a bite, no one will be able to give up this taste! It's so delicious!"

"It's just that... the material used is too expensive. Even if it's sold out, it can't keep up with the demand..."

As he was talking, he started to worry about the raw materials.

Su Qiuyi has Bai Xiaojing's support, so she is not afraid of the shortage of raw materials, but other people don't know that now they value those buckets of milk very much.

After all, a bucket of milk can't produce half a pound of butter.

In addition, milk is needed to knead the dough for biscuits, and there are so many places where milk is used.

The Tiansheng Dynasty had an explicit decree prohibiting the slaughter of cattle, because cattle were scarce and there were not enough to use for plowing the fields or pulling carts. Therefore, except for old and disabled cattle approved by the government, no one was allowed to slaughter them for meat.

Due to the limited number of cows, milk has become a precious commodity, difficult to buy and very expensive.

Probably only officials and wealthy families could afford to use milk and flour to make pastries as luxuriously as Su Qiuyi.

Su Xiaofang had never thought before that oil could be produced from cow's milk, and that the oil was so fragrant and delicious.

Then there is white sugar.

Su Qiuyi was surprised to find that there was white sugar in this era, but ordinary people could not afford it.

White sugar is as valuable as milk.

"The ingredients are expensive so the price is naturally high. We will sell as many as we can make. It's okay, auntie!"

Scarcity makes things valuable. As long as her milk-flavored biscuits become famous in Qinghe Town, she will not be afraid of bad business.

"That's the truth. By the way, Auntie came here to see if you need anything, and also to discuss it with you! If you want to set up a stall, then ask your cousin to come and help. Your own brother is not afraid of gossip. It's better for girls to stay out of the public!"

Su Qiuyi's eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't she think of it? If her cousin came, he could not only help them, but also provide income for her aunt's family.

"Okay, cousin, if you have nothing to do at home, come and help us. I'm thinking of buying another carriage. Two horses are useless for pulling a carriage, so it's just right to use one of them."

She could manage to drive, but she didn't want to drive if someone helped her. She still didn't know how to control a horse, and it wasn't as easy to control as a car.

Moreover, if her cousin goes out with her to sell cookies, her two sisters can stay at home and continue making cookies, which is the best of both worlds. Oh, by the way...

"Aunt, if cousin is free, come over and help make cookies? Make them with Yueyue! I'll give them both a paycheck, the same as Shoko!"

"Okay, I'll tell your cousins ​​when I get back! He's definitely staying with Shoko in the bullpen now! Forget about the wages! We're all family!"

Su Xiaofang nodded in agreement. Her son was free anyway, so she would feel more at ease if he came to help the three sisters.

"That won't work! We are doing business to make money. I can't let my brothers and sisters come to work and make money on our own! By the way, aunt, I will stew mutton later. You can stay and have dinner before leaving! Dad is back just in time, let him take you back! It's too hard to walk back in this cold weather!"

Su Qiuyi originally didn't plan to stew mutton in the evening, but when she saw her aunt coming, she decided to stew it.

Although I had enough to eat these days because I cooked for the workers, it was still not as good as the food at home.

This is a good opportunity to ask my aunt to improve her food.

Su Xiaofang waved her hand and said, "No, no, auntie just had a full meal at noon, you can keep it for yourselves! I just had meat a few days ago, and my stomach is full of fat!"

Su Xiaofang did not object to paying her niece wages. If her niece could earn some money, it would be good for her to bring her own children along.

It's a good opportunity for the two of them to save up some money for the bride price and dowry.

If we rely on the Yang family, we will probably be ruined.

My son is already of marriageable age, and my daughter is also of marriageable age. If it weren't for the disaster, we should have made arrangements long ago.

However, everyone generally suppressed this matter. No one was interested in arranging marriages for the children. Everyone was busy trying to survive, so it was delayed. Now, it is time to start making arrangements.
